Yes
Yes . You can have a nerve block and intravenous sedation.
The short answer is yes, you can. Usually, the surgeon uses some local anesthetic to which the anesthesia team may add some intravenous medication to keep you comfortable, lightly sedated and comfortable.
Yes. You can be awake. But usually intravenous sedation helps
